2. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
–when requesting technical assistance from the Techline,
–for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is obligatory,
–to be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty reimbursement,
and enables better analysis of the parts which have been removed.
5. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
–make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low charge,
–use the appropriate tools.
Safety instructions that must be followed before any operation is performed on the vehicle
–If a major LPG leak occurs, the vehicle must be isolated, away from buildings and any fire risks.
–the emergency services may be required to intervene if the situation cannot be controlled.
–all work on the LPG circuit must be performed by qualified and authorised personnel,
–do not try to open the tank. Never try to remove the multi-valve located at the end of the tank.
–do not clean the engine compartment using a pressure system with detergents.
–always refer to the RENAULT Workshop Repair Manual before performing any work.
Safety instructions that must be followed when any operation is performed on the vehicle
–all work must be carried out in a well-ventilated space,
–there must not be any naked flames, sparks, lit cigarettes or telephones near the area where work is being
carried out,
–the operator must not wear acrylic clothes likely to generate static electricity.
–disconnect the battery and leave the vehicle on the ground,
–if working on the tank, drain it by running the engine in LPG mode,
–once drained and removed, the tank can be sent to GIAT, complete with its mounting,
–if work is to be done in the spray booth, remove the tank (with its mounting),
–the tank must not be subjected to temperatures greater than 50°C. IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system must undergo a thorough fault finding procedure with the
appropriate tools. The FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding
procedure, ensures a record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential component
when consulting the manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EVERY TIME
THE TECHLINE OR THE WARRANTY RETURN SERVICE ASKS FOR IT.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
The system can be programmed and reprogrammed via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic
tool (see Technical Note 3585A or follow the instructions provided by the diagnostic tool).
After reprogramming or replacing the computer:
–Switch the ignition off and then on again.
–Start and run the engine in LPG mode then stop the engine (to initialise the computer) and wait for
30 seconds.
–Switch on the ignition and use the diagnostic tool to carry out the following steps:
–use command VP001 Write VIN,
–after the injection has been reprogrammed, stored faults may appear on other computers. Clear the memories of
these computers,
–carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool. IMPORTANT
–switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply),
–connect a battery charger,
–shut down all the electrical consumers (lights, interior lights, air conditioning, radio CD, etc.),
–wait for the engine to cool down (coolant temperature below 60 °C and air temperature below 50 °C).
